Sidelines (Wounded Hearts Book 1) by S.M. Smith

“He is a good man and the world deserves to know the real Logan Lassiter. Now, if only he’d let me show them.”

Allie Mooreland is that girl everyone loves to talk to. And if you’re talking football, she loves talking to you.
Logan Lassiter is the hot shot wide receiver for the San Antonio Rattlers. He’s a man of few words on the field, and even fewer words off. He’s a simple man who doesn’t want anyone knowing his personal business. Especially reporters.
So when Allie is tasked with spending three weeks with him during the off season so she can write the first exclusive article on the record-breaking hero, she realizes her work is cut out for her.
Allie’s goal: Make America fall in love with Logan Lassiter.
But when she travels to small town, Texas, and starts getting to know Mr. Lassiter, she finds that her job shouldn’t really be that difficult. Logan’s sense of familial duty and his generous heart are easy to fall in love with. Unless you’re under professional obligation not to.
Even after Logan professes his feelings for Allie, she has a decision to make: let go of the one thing she’s always found her identity in, or step off the sidelines and let her heart be loved.
